An electronic device according to the present invention includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a recording control unit configured to perform control to start recording content including at least one of a moving image and sound in response to an operation of a first operating member or a second operating member; and a control unit configured to perform control to: record the content as content of a new group that differs from a group of content recorded immediately prior thereto in a case where recording of the content is started in response to receipt of an operation of the first operating member; and record the content as content of the same group as the content recorded immediately prior thereto in a case where recording of the content is started in response to receipt of an operation of the second operating member.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined recording mode is a mode for recording a moving image of an operator him/herself or a mode for recording voice of the operator him/herself.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first operating member and the second operating member are disposed further away than a display area in which display relating to recording of the content is performed, as seen from an acquisition portion for performing at least one of image capture of the moving image and input of the sound.
7. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein an operating member for changing an AF position is disposed in a position enabling operation thereof by a finger used to operate the first operating member and the second operating member.
8. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first operating member and the second operating member are disposed in positions that can be reached by a finger of a hand holding a grip portion of the electronic device.
11. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the recording control unit performs control to stop recording of the content in response to an operation of the first operating member or the second operating member during recording of the content.
13. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where an operation is performed on the first operating member while content of the same group as the content recorded immediately prior thereto is being recorded and in a case where an operation is performed on the second operating member while content of a new group is being recorded, the control unit performs control to delete the content being recorded.
14. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as a display control unit configured to perform control so that in a case where recording of content of the same group as the content recorded immediately prior thereto is started, a display indicating a number of pieces of content belonging to the same group as the content recorded immediately before is performed.
15. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein, after recording of the content is stopped, the control unit performs control to attach a rating to the content in response to an operation of an operating member for changing the AF position.
16. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as a notification control unit configured to perform control to notify a user of whether content of a new group is being recorded or content of the same group as the content recorded immediately prior thereto is being recorded.
